Guestbook comments from the owner

We had a fantastic holiday in Trullo di Sotto. The house itself is super and the pool is great – the kids were in it all day while the grown-ups enjoyed the sun-loungers.

They even provided some fantastic good wine at our arrival in the house. We spent most of our days in the house eating lunch at home, and ate out mostly every night. The fantastic produce available in the local shops, allowed us to have many nice lunches at the house. We were met professionally at our arrival and overall got great service and were given lots of good tips throughout our stay. They also took us to see an olive oil factory, great fun for big and small. They even arranged an evening where the Italian “Mamma” came and made food for us at the house. And it included teaching the children how to make homemade pasta – very popular with the kids. On one occasion the biggest girls went horse-back riding, which was also a big success.

The house turned out to be perfect for a party of 4 adults and 4 children, as the two smallest kids slept in the living room on the couch. We got good information about the place beforehand, containing many good ideas and very good descriptions of everything.

This is really a place we would want to visit again, and can really recommend it to everyone. Our only concern is that it will be difficult to find it available once everyone discovers how great it is…

We had a very nice stay at the Trullo in Cisternino. The House is new renovated, very nice furnished an decorated. We loved the huge terrace with its pergola. The pool has a good size and the deck chairs are very comfortable... perfect for a nap during lunchtime

We will definitely come back - Thank you so much to Nina and her wonderful team!

Peaceful stay in Cisternino region

4
of 5

Great stay in Puglia area; the property was up to our expectations, close to mid size cities (Cisternino and Ostuni, about 15-20 minutes drive), yet remote enough to insure a peaceful and quiet stay. The house had all the amenities described and was tastefully decorated with contemporary furniture. The pool had a reasonnable size and overlooked the countryside which gave it a really peaceful feel to it.

The manager was really helpfull all along our stay, helping with recommendations and restaurants reservations, always available when needed.

Overall it was a great stay in a great part of Italy far away from the touristic invasion of Italy's major cities and regions with a lot to discover and enjoy.

On the Adriatic coast on Italy's heal exists a vacation paradise, called Puglia. The area is a favourite destination for Italians on holiday in their own country, and is only marginally affected by international tourism. Here you will find white sandy beaches with crystal clear waters in addition to a number of picturesque villages like Alberobello, Cisternino, Ostuni, Locorotondo, Martina Franca, Polignano a mare and Ceglie Messapica to name but a few. The area is also known for its unique round trullo-houses - like our house for rent.

About the location

The holiday house lies undisturbed in a lovely little valley filled with by olive-trees and figs. There is no traffic passing through, but the property is by no means isolated. With the exception of the last 100 meters up to the property, there is a paved road. It is a 7-minute drive to Cisternino, while the nearest small town, Casalini, has a grocery store and a handful of trattorias, only 2 minutes by car or a short walk away ... The Adriatic sea and the beaches are just 17 km away and there is ample parking along the coast . There are a number of free beaches in addition to beaches which offer rental of sunbeds and parasols.

The days in Puglia are well enjoyed by the pool, on the beautiful beaches and of course visiting all the picturesque villages nearby where you can go in for a walk in the afternoon and have a delicious ice-cream, attend a concert in the piazza at night, visit a beautiful church or eat dinner at a nice outdoor restaurant.

But there is far more to do for those who get restless after a while!

Horseback - riding: In walking distance from the property there is a riding centre offering riding lessons and excursions in Valle d’Itria.

Golf and spa: offered in Savelletri ( 20 mins drive ) in connection with a number of 5 star hotels that have been established in recent years.

Amusement Parks : Also in Savelletri where there is an amusement park, zoo safari and aqualand

Shopping: Puglia has a long tradition of ceramics , and there are outlets all across the region. On the outskirts of Bari there also is an outlet village. There are also nice markets on selected days in the different towns where you can find everything from local produce to antiques .

Visiting a Winery : Puglia is a major producer of wine and grapes like primitivo and negroamaro are well known all over the world. Visits to vineyards may be arranged.

Day trips: For those who like to get around a bit when you 're on vacation, we can recommend day trips to Baroque Lecce or Bari, a harbor town with a charming old town and bustling night life . Alternatively you can travel to the Ionian Sea (bottom of Italy's boot) , but remember swimwear, here too there are wonderful beaches. If cities are not what attract you most, you can drive a little further south and visit the nature reserve of Torre Guaceto, with incredible beaches that give the feeling of being on a tropical island. And even further south, you will find Otranto , with a lovely beach right in town and a charming old town.
